Hi Jamie,
thanks a lot for posting this.

I don't understand why but what I get for "data = response.body" is
{ "error": { "type": "OAuthException", "message": "Error validating verification code." }}

I don't understand what happens.
when I just try the url in my browser with all the parameters until the access code, I can get the access token, but not this way.

on the other hand, when I try the same url with a browser with which I'm logged in into Facebook with a different user [but I reuse the code I got for the previous user], then I get the exact same error ["Error validating verification code."]. So I wonder if there's an issue with regards to the server 'not being logged in as the user who got the code'

I tried hard to make this work and couldn't figure it out. Any help would be super appreciated

Thanks!

Pierre

this is the code I use in my controller [after I logged on the client side - which successfully gives my controller a code]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@access_code = params[:code]
url = URI.parse("https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=MYCLIENTID&redirect_uri=MYREDIRECTURI&client_secret=MYAPPSECRET&code=#{CGI::escape(@access_code)}") http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port) http.use_ssl = (url.scheme == 'https') tmp_url = url.path+"?"+url.query request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(tmp_url) response = http.request(request) data = response.body @access_token = data.split("=")[1] @test = data

just getting my head around RoR - may seem silly, but i've put this in a 'services' controller (i am storing multiple social network tokens per person- so the toke will be associated with a user id in the services model) - but can't seem to call it - sure i'm being stupid, but any help for a beginner would be greatly appreciated!

BTW while I am on this post, @Gladiator I am not sure if Facebook was just down, but the code as is does work, I verified it last night.

Indeed I did, updating the post now.

@Sam, I think you can check to see if the session is still any good by trying to get the person's feed (and seeing if you get a return, there maybe better endpoints to hit to check to see if the session is still good). If you get a good return (meaning good data), then you don't need to reauth.@Sam, I think you can check to see if the session is still any good by trying to get the person's feed (and seeing if you get a return, there maybe better endpoints to hit to check to see if the session is still good).

it doesnt work for me. i get this as the response:

response = http.request(request)
(rdb:7) n
warning: peer certificate won't be verified in this SSL session
data = response.body
(rdb:7) n
access_token = data.split("=")[1]
(rdb:7) data
"{\"id\":\"https:\\/\\/graph.facebook.com\\/oauth\\/access_token\"}"

so the data object doesnt have anything at index 1.

One question if I may - is there a way to ask user to authenticate each time when I need them authorized?

You rock! :)
